Man, I've managed to avoid the coffee/caffeine addiction that plagues everyone else so far, but I think I'm going to succumb if I get left on this shift for an extended period.

Just do it. If you want to be cool like me.

You do want to be cool don't you?

One double tall latte on the way to work and three cups of coffee at the office. And I don't start until 7:30 at the earliest.

Be cool. Do caffeine.

Tea doesn't count. It's for sissies and English people.

Of course it would be! Japanese people drink tea all the time, therefore, it's zero surprise that Crim does, too.

No one ever said drinking tea would put hair on your chest. Can you imagine the Marlboro Man riding his horse across the range to go have a cup of tea? Tea is to caffeine what Mike's Hard Lemonade is to alcohol.

Granted, I don't know if I would favor you with hair on your chest! :)

You are a professed lover of Japanese culture. Tea is as Japanese a thing as it is a British thing. Etc.

Studies have shown that drinking coffee in moderation is actually very good for you.

Yeah, the 'moderation' is the hard part.

3x 16 oz cups a day sounds moderate to me.

Nothing manly about a latte.

I take it black, like my men.

You had to bring out the Kryptonite.

In my defense, if I ordered drip coffee from the stand, I would have less time to ogle the baristas.

Does your wife know about this?

I, on the other hand, enjoy my coffee like my women: ground up and in the freezer.

I enjoy my coffee like my women; hot, black and bitter.

I like my coffee like I like my women: Strong with a backstory of ground up nuts.

I doubt very much if you or any man would favor me with hair on my chest! ;)

Honestly, though, I drink my coffee AND my tea black, no sugar. :D
